Assalamu Alaykum
I just wanted to say hello to all and that Im new to the group and a convert to Islam. The reason I am writing is because Im new to the country of Canada, and I really dont have any friends. I am a married female and Im only looking for female friends only to talk with sometime or just hang out with. They also must be some what religious and have a kind heart. Also if you are a male I will not respond to you, so please do not bother responding to this message because i will not respond, I am only looking for females for friends only!!!!!

Selaam ala3koem, my name is laila and im 20 years old and moroccan but im living in belgium . im new here, im looking for friends all arround the world, it was nice meeting you all and may God bless you

Salaam to u all;
welcome to all those newly converted sisters, u have chosen the right path (which i am sure u already know). I am new to this site, Alhamdulillah still finding my way around.
Sis MJk, u r so right about the pay system on this site, i think it's extortion - to have to pay in order to meet other Muslims. Insha Allah, Allah will guide us.

God Is Important In Our Daily Lives,Living Solely With Natural Instinct Is Inadequate

Fitrah another word for human natural instincts or human needs and these needs, some are important, some are less important. There is only one main need or desire i.e. the need or desire to have God in life. The less important ones are numerous which include the need for love and care, friendships, love for beauty, harmony, peace and serenity and love for good characters such as gentleness, generous, humble, forgiving etc.

Actually, we are able to live in peace and harmony solely with our natural instincts especially when the instincts are still good, undamaged and unpolluted by the surroundings. Following solely on the natural instincts, society could be in peace, harmonious and helping each other as these are natural desires and humans will behave according to their natural desires.

If we are to observe the lifestyles of the aborigines or orang asli living in the forest, they are able to interact among each other and are capable of creating a harmonious and peaceful community solely based on their natural instincts.

In other parts of the world there are communities living in peace and harmony. Even though there are judiciary systems to punish the law breakers, in actual fact they are guided by their own social code which have been accepted by everyone in the community. At times, these social codes or ethics has become part of their culture or traditions, unwritten or unrecorded but all members of the community have understood and have become part of their lives.

These social ethics or code are the result from the natural instincts desiring for peace, harmony and serenity in their society. But these are peace from natural instincts, not peace from God. God does not wish for us to have peace and be good solely depending on natural instincts as He wishes for us to be good because of Him.

Peace and goodness solely based on natural instincts would not withstand trials and tribulations. A good person based solely on natural instincts when faced with tests, his goodness will diminish and his negative characters will surfaced. An angry and temperamental person, for example, will feel calm and composed in peaceful surroundings. Once he's under pressure and faced with difficulties, he will be annoyed and be out of control.
Someone who is impatient and not in acceptance (redha) appears calm and composed when all his needs are met. But when his needs are limited and he becomes poor, he would be disturbed and disgruntled. He may even give up. And it goes on.

Living with God means God is the essence or core in life. God is the faith and the control.Every aspect of lfe is associated with God. We are relying on God's strength. Peace, serenity and harmony in the society are all the outcome from love and fear of God.

All the desirable characters in an individual are the result of mujahadah (battle with nafs) and self correction urged by the fear of God.
When we live with God, it's easy to feel calm and patient with hardships and tests as we totally depend on God. If in times of hardships and tests we are able to be calm and composed ,what more in times of comfort and wealth.

God is Most Gracious and Most Merciful. He desires Himself to be involved in every single aspects and problems of His servants. It is as if God is disappointed when He is not included in our daily lives and problems. To God, His servants are His belongings. He is the only One most deserving to help and assist His servants. Let us not put God aside but to live with Him.

I have had two responses
to my profile after I
managed to get some
automated computer generated
responses stopped.

Of course one stated that
I had no place in her life
because of my condition and
she didn't want me emailing
her. The only problem was
that I didn't and told her
that the computer had
generated it and please
accept my apology.

She was gracious and did!
So to Anyone who received
emails from me directly,
my apology. I've stopped
that now I think.
